Ah yes, the response we always see when this subject comes up. There is a
BIG difference between "docked" and "locked" toolbars. I imagine Mr. Reid is
quick and busy on the mouse like I am -- drawing maps, changing tools,
frequently going from the tools buttons to the map window and back again for
another tool (BTW, how about some keyboard shortcuts for tools?).
The problem is that it is so easy to un-dock a toolbar when you are working.
I watched another MapInfo user do this same thing just yesterday (then you
have to move all your toolbars around to get them in the right order again.
So, we're still looking for a solution.
